  Satisfied - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By Mike - August 19 - 1:41 pm

  Purchased vehicle as a rental return. I need AWD because I sell property in the mountains and occasionally go off road. Clients are always comfortable. Currently has 180K miles, mostly reliable, minimal repairs have been needed. Gas mileage in the mountains averages 13-14 MPG. 18-20 MPG on the road.

  Sad to see them go - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By Donn - March 18 - 6:43 pm

  Our 4th Astro, obviously we like them. A-Bb the Caravan, Aerostar & Astro when we were in the market for a small van in 1985. Thought the Astro was the best choice then, still do now. Sorry theyre no longer made

  This is one great van! Bring it back! - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By Ron - January 6 - 8:18 pm

  I have owned four of the Astro series and one Safari van since 96. Ive had only good experiences with them. Maybe I apprciate its comfort level, driveability and road feel because I dont expect this truck to drive like a luxury sedan. My Astros gave me better mileage than any pickups Ive driven from time to time (including the big new Toyotas), yet with much bigger enclosed hauling space for my tools, lumber, etc., with the seats out. Then, when you need it, unlike a pickup, its a great people mover too. And, as far as the styling goes, a nicely detailed 2002 Astro looks better than anything else out there. Im keeping this one!

  Chevy, make another! - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By Jason - April 25 - 9:32 am

  We purchased our 02 because we owned a 91 & my wife loved being up higher than a typical minivan. It was barely used when we bought it & it had everything we wanted. The biggest improvement over the older one was the rear dutch doors. Its a system that makes complete sense. The adjustability of the bench seats is tremendous, allowing ample leg room for an adult in the back if neccessary. Try having an adult in the back of a Caravan they may decide to walk! The only thing I needed to change was the factory rims & tires looked really soft for such a tough truck (and it is a truck!). We love our Astro van and plan on keeping it for years to come

  2002 Astro Conversion - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By hope46 - July 6 - 9:57 pm

  The only things I dont really like about this van are the turning radius, which isnt as tight as the Voyager we used to have, and how difficult it is to back up at night, because we have dark tinted windows, and the seats are quite high, making it difficult to see. Its a great traveling van, the back seat folds down to a bed, and it has nice blinds on the windows. It gets better mileage that we thought it would, averaging 20 mpg. Ive gotten 24 mpg with it on the interstate. Well keep this until it falls apart on us were quite happy with it.

  Astro better than SUV for my family - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By cmaricle - September 9 - 2:00 am

  The astro is much better than the Suburban for my family, much better accessability between rows when dealing with kids. Hey, its not sexy but its a good ride.

  this is the family vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By momwithkids - January 17 - 2:00 am

  We are on our second Astro. We love the room, comfort & ease of movement, (important when you have to get back to little kids in car seats quickly no center console to trip over). Most of all we found that this van is reliable, powerful easy drive, sits high for great visibility. Lots of cargo room. There isnt a minivan that can compare! It is like an SUV w/minivan price w/better gas mileage and manuverability. Astros are only for the economically minded who need a reliable work horse to tote a family.

  A minivan that works like an SUV - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By cgoetz - June 18 - 2:00 am

  We had owned a 90 Plymouth Grand Voyager, and liked its large interior, but didnt like its reliability. The Astro has at least as much room, but has been perfectly reliable so far, and has a lot more power. We enjoy camping, but never dared take our pop-up into the mountains with the Plymouth. The Astro does a nice job of taking us and our stuff wherever we want to go. The old van was good on snow, but the Astro is something else altogether - it is diffucult to make it slip even when you try. Id recommend it to anyone who has an active family.

  3 Astros and Counting - 2002 Chevrolet Astro
  By Moms on her 3rd - June 6 - 2:00 am

  Well, I am on my third Astro Van. I literally cried we I was told I had to give the 1st one up at 100,000. Then the second one at 107,000 miles. Today in our throw-away world its nice to know there are somethings still dependable. I carry alot of children around and the ruggedness of this vehicle is unbelieveable. My only suggestion would be for Chevy to ask mothers what changes they would make. The rear windows opening is a very good point.Other than that I hope they keep making this model.
